J1ST 139: Dominic and the Rosary 22:35

1+ y ago22:35

22:35

Storytime! Since we are talking about the saints celebrating their feast days this week, including St. Dominic, I took this opportunity to share my own Dominic/Holy Rosary stories. Both take place in France outside of Toulouse, but they are set about 10 years apart. In part one, I am a solo traveler to rural France where I realize my High School Fr…

J1ST 137: Saints and the History of the Church 20:57

1+ y ago20:57

20:57

Well, I decided to spill the beans on a project that we have been working on for a long time, and I am hopeful will come into being this fall: a church history book told through biographies of the saints. I have grown frustrated with how many church history books tell history either through secular leaders (like emperors) or heretics. So, we decide…

J1ST 134: Racism 23:42

1+ y ago23:42

23:42

The Church teaches that all people, regardless of race, are created in the image and likeness of God. Also, Christ died and shed His blood for ALL people. Therefore, all people are worthy of love and should enjoy equal rights. Also, we are not called to simply “tolerate” people. We are called to love them. Unfortunately, we all will need to teach v…

J1ST 133: Terrorism 14:27

1+ y ago14:27

14:27

Terrorism is the use of violence against non-military people for political or personal gain. Terrorism attempts to control or change through fear. 9-11 Was the greatest act of terrorism this country has seen, and when our children learn about the events of that day, we need to be clear that terrorism is wrong. However, the Bishops teach that when t…

J1ST 132: War 17:03

1+ y ago17:03

17:03

As the Church teachers, war is a terrible phenomenon that should be avoided at all costs. To illustrate this, the Church offers us the “Just War Doctrine” something that applies to every few modern conflicts. In order for a war to be “just” it must: Be the result of damage by the aggressor that is lasting, grave and certain. All other means of reso…

J1ST 131: Dignity of Work and Worker's Rights 17:27

1+ y ago17:27

17:27

Today’s episode explores the fifth theme of Catholic Social Teaching as laid out by the US Bishops. I am discussing both topics, Dignity of Work and Workers Rights, together in this episode. Above all else, I desire for my children to learn that work has dignity--and this applies to all work: jobs, chores around the house and school work. We are li…

J1ST 130: Care for those who are Homeless 17:46

1+ y ago17:46

17:46

According to a recent study, up to 3 Million Americans are currently homeless. The US Bishops refer to this as a tragedy, which we are all asked to help remedy. Afterall, as JPII said, a home is not just a roof and four walls. A home is where life takes place, and each human person has a right to a home. In this episode I share my own experience wi…

J1ST 129: Care for those suffering with Drug Addiction 20:38

1+ y ago20:38

20:38

The fourth theme of Catholic Social Teaching asks us to care also for those addicted to drugs. They too were created in the image and likeness of God and even drug addiction does not remove that dignity. This topic can be hard for many of us as we wrestle with feelings that drug addiction is the addict’s fault and, in a way, it serves them right. T…

J1ST 128: Care for Elders 19:18

1+ y ago19:18

19:18

Once again, we are called to love and care for our elders because all humans, no matter how old or infirmed they may be, are still children of God and because of this filled with a special God-given dignity. Caring for our elders is also part of the 4th commandment. Care for elders also touches on an important Catholic concept: Memento Mori, or our…

J1ST 127: Care for Those with Disabilities 15:34

1+ y ago15:34

15:34

For several years Pope Francis has been outspoken about the love and care we should offer those with disabilities, in particular, we need to make sure that those who are disabled have access to the sacraments. This means more than having functional elevators and sign language interpreters. It means welcoming those with sometimes several mental disa…

J1ST 126: Healthcare 18:52

1+ y ago18:52

18:52

Health Care is the first of five that the US Bishops include in the fourth theme of Catholic Social Teaching: Care for the Poor and Vulnerable. JPII reminds us that we should not only care for the poor, but practice a preference for the poor and vulnerable, as often they need special defending in our world. The Church defends that Healthcare is a b…

J1ST 125: Freedom of Religion 20:30

1+ y ago20:30

20:30

Today we are tackling the third and final topic in the Rights and Responsibility section of Catholic Social Teaching, as laid out by the USCCB: Freedom of Religion. Following the Second Vatican Council, the Church taught that all people have a right FROM and FOR religion. This means that we can’t force people to be part of a certain religion. It al…

Criminal Justice is the first topic we are discussing under the third theme of Catholic Social Teaching as laid out by the USCCB. The third theme is called Rights and Responsibilities. In this section we investigate the rights each person is entitled to, simply because they are human and created in God’s own images. But, it is not enough to simply …

1+ y ago20:00

20:00

The second theme of Catholic Social Teaching laid out by the USCCB is the call to family and community. Although the topics we have been talking about recently might sound quite different from Civic Duty and Political Activism, they are related. Humans are social beings and we need each other. We are training in the family--the school of love--but …

J1ST 121: CST Same Sex Marriage 18:51

1+ y ago18:51

18:51

Today’s discussion will equip you to discuss marriage and same-sex marriage with your children. Too often we think that Homosexuality and (Same-Sex) Marriage are the same topic, but they are not.

Today we are continuing our discussion of our call to marriage and family, as laid out by the USCCB and discussed in our new book, CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING FOR YOUTH. Divorce is likely the very first topic from this book that you will need to address with your children. That’s how it worked for us! Unfortunately many people we know, both family and…

J1ST 118: CST Being Open to Life 21:08

1+ y ago21:08

21:08

In today’s episode we continue to discuss issues laid out by the USCCB that define our call to marriage and family. This topic specially discusses the use of artificial birth control and why using anything to prevent conceiving a child, inside or outside of marriage, is always wrong. The Church teaches beautifully on this point, specifically throug…

For the next several episodes we will be exploring God’s plan for marriage and family and the variety of ways Satan’s lies attack that plan. Today we start with sex outside of marriage. Now, it is important that we don’t just teach the “rule”. Instead we need to share with our children what is good and beautiful. God’s plan for sex is so good! The …

J1ST 116: CST Chastity 18:27

1+ y ago18:27

18:27

All of Christ’s faithful are called to the virtue of chastity. Chastity allows us to love in an appropriate way everyone that we encounter. Chastity is how we honor God’s plan for our own sexuality and the sexuality of others. Chastity is not just abstinence. In order to be chaste we must make sure that everything we do is pure, from the way we dre…

Today we are taking on what is likely the most controversial and emotional topic of our time: Transgenderism. Much has been said about transgenderism and it needs to be noted that they Church has yet to issue an official teaching on this topic.

27:22

Today’s episode of the Just One Small Thing Podcast explores pornography.

Suicide is, unfortunately, something that has touched each of our lives.

J1ST 102: A Developing Relationship with the Sacred Heart of Jesus 21:47

2y ago21:47

21:47

My relationship with the Sacred Heart of Jesus has developed a lot in recent years. For much of my life I didn’t think much of the Sacred Heart. I associated it mostly with what felt like an out-dated devotion and strange Italian-looking versions of Jesus in art. This started to change after I read a biography of Blessed Charles of Austria (https:/…
